Who's The Greatest?

Contributed by George Durham on Mar 2, 2016

The world emphasizes the importance of putting yourself first, and being the greatest. Jesus' disciples argued about who among them was the greatest, the most loved, the most important.

The Greatest of the Kingdom Mark 9:30-37 As they walk along, Jesus tells the disciples what to expect in the coming days. He says, "The Son of Man is being handed over to the hands of men, & they will kill him; & when he is killed, on the third day he will rise again" (Mark 9:31). Now, ...read more

Easter-Its A Matter Of The Heart

Contributed by George Bannister on Mar 14, 2016

Break The Hidden Link

Contributed by George Warner on Jun 3, 2020

ADVICE FOR MEN

There is much evidence that knowledge affects prayer. It seems the less someone knows the more time they will spend praying to God for impossibilities. In James 1:5 the Bible admonishes us to ask God for wisdom. And in the Old testament Apocrypha the book called the Wisdom of Solomon explains much ...read more

Be Kind To Your Mind

Contributed by George Warner on Jun 24, 2020

That is good that does us good

The words of Ephesians 4:29 and Philippians 4:8 admonish us to speak and think positive.

Call A Spade A Spade

Contributed by George Warner on Jun 4, 2022

Open rebuke is better than secret love (Proverbs 27:5)

The Bible says that Open rebuke is better than secret love. And at 1 Samuel chapters 2 to 4 there is a relevant story about Eli an Israelite priest who appears to have loved his impious sons more than he loved God. It is time for us to call a spade a spade. There is no such thing as a l.g.b.t ...read more

Two Kinds Of Love

Contributed by George Warner on Sep 17, 2025

Jesus Christ was an Open Rebuker
